Got my steering all in and tight. Have to take back apart 1 last time to finish weld a few spots.
Rest of my motor parts got ordered this weekend so if they show up hopefully this weekend motor will be together. Then to start putting it all back together

I thought you were going to have some bars from the engine cage going down to the frame around the beam mounts. Right where your steering support is, I thought a bar was going there to help strength the mount so the frame doesnt get ripped off.
correct.
engine cage is not complete yet. actually none of the chassis is. Still lots of work left to do.
Coming together niceley, looks good.
Some more progress. Motor parts are all in so can get the little 4.8 back together soon. Been working on trying to finish the chassis fab work up to get I ready for final assembly. Got removable core support mounts all built. Removable glass fenders mounted. Finish welded and fitted radiator and intercooler. Finish welded what I had for a front engine cage and also strarted adding a few more pieces.
Looks good bud
Looks good man but heads up you might need a more rigid fender mount, we did similar mounts on the race truck and the vibration broke the mounts off.
Are you going to run tube to the outside end of the shock mount?
From the frame maybe?

Goo. Now I can breathe.
ok this truck is just awesome
I agree with this but just a rib on your current mount should suffice
I don't think I've put up motor specs up yet.
